Guild Family on 21-Sep-14

Guilds was named after the family of the same name who were successful tobacco farmers in the region at the time.
These Guilds were descendants of Guilds who hailed from England and crossed over the pond to both USA and Canada. The Canadian branch of the family settled in Guilds. It was also called 'Guild's Corner' in 1919 by the locals. The Guild
farmhouse and property are still there in the region, in 2014.
